KEY MESSAGES

- A warming trend will continue into the middle of the upcoming work week, with the return of cooler temperatures near normal for the second half of the week.

- Mostly dry conditions will remain through the week, with low- end chances midweek with a passing cold front.

SHORT TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/

Issued at 1201 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

High pressure will pass overhead through the remainder of today, passing southeast of the area tonight into Sunday as a wave digs into the Great Lakes Region. A weak cold front will accompany this wave, which is progged to pass through the area Sunday morning. A dry frontal passage is expected due to plenty of dry air present, with the main indication of a passing front being a wind shift becoming more westerly. Subtle warm advection ahead of the front will result in increasing cloud cover tonight, which will help moderate temperatures in the mid 30s. Going into Sunday, we will see above normal temperatures again, with most in the upper 50s to low 60s. We will also see cloud cover decrease through the day, as the cold front passes just southeast of the area. Overnight Sunday into Monday, we will see llvl winds become more southwesterly with a subtle increase in cloud cover. Otherwise, temperatures will be in the low-mid 30s going into the Monday AM commute.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/

Issued at 1201 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

We are in for an unseasonably mild start to the work week, owing to weak ridging and increasing warm advection, which will keep the pleasant conditions in place. Daytime temperatures in the low 60s can be expected for most, with some passing clouds and light winds through the first half of the week. Midweek and beyond, a shortwave trof will dig into the Upper Midwest, bringing low-end precipitation chances as an associated cold front passes through. There remains uncertainty on moisture availability, with only 20-30% PoPs for areas south of Interstate 80 at this time. Overall, this doesn't look to be a heavy/widespread rainfall event. Rather, it should be quick-hitting and light, with WPC currently favoring <0.10". The more noticeable change in weather will be with temperatures, as cold advection behind the front will drop us into the upper 40s to near 50 for the second half of the work week.

AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z MONDAY/

Issued at 515 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

VFR conditions continue through the next 24 hours with some passing cirrus. The only notable feature in the forecast is a weak surface trough moving through the area. Winds will shift from southwesterly to northwesterly throughout the morning hour and pick up around 10 knots. There is good chance (70-90% chance) of wind gusts approaching 20 knots at CID, DBQ, and MLI in the afternoon hours, but the short duration kept it out of this issuance.
